Statement

Sheriff McKinney neglected his duty by failing to arrive at work or function as the Sheriff, a position he was elected to, for a period of approximately 90 days!

Per a post, originated on Facebook by Bill Scott, employed as a certified reserve deputy with Stephens County Sheriff’s Office until May 17, 2022:

“Undersheriff Bobby Bowen resigned with an unblemished and impeccable record,” Scott wrote. “Today is his last day. The county will be much less capable without his leadership. The courthouse foyer was packed with police and fire leadership, past and present, from across Stephens County. The sheriff was absent.

“The citizens of Stephens County need to be aware that Sheriff Wayne McKinney has not been at work in about 90 days. Nobody at the sheriff’s office knows why,” Scott wrote. “Accountability starts at the top. The citizens of Stephens County elected Wayne McKinney to do a job. To the citizens he is accountable. The period given to benefit of the doubt is over. Employee morale is at an all time low. I resigned my commission today as well. There will no doubt be more.
